Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Not really a case forming question but I figure this group would be the most likely to know. I have a couple baggies of oddball brass that got picked up with my stuff, I don't want to throw them in...
I was having a tough time sizing PC'd boolits through Lee sizer dies on a RC2. Seemed like more of a friction issue than sizing, light mist of water on the PC'd boolits and they zip right through,...

First firearm was a 514 Remington bolt action single shot 22lr, and I hated it, wanted a Marlin 60. Years later after accumulating the "cool" guns I wanted, the 514 is one of my favorites, it's fun,...

Picked up a new Encore muzzle several weeks ago without knowing Smith is trying to spin off the brand, really hoping they do it right and don't tank the brand, was just starting to like Smith.

I like carrying my Ruger Redhawk 4.2" 44mag when I'm walking in the woods, not going to claim it's the best bear defense option in existence but I like it. Large enough to tame recoil, not...

Three44s,
That's a good point, I should mention that the feet of my stand stick out further than the press which makes a huge difference. If the press was flush with the feet or base, it would be...

Also, decapping, cleaning, and casting all still happen outside or in the garage. Only the clean processes are done with this setup in the living room, allows me to spend time with the fam, crank out...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Thanks Three44s. Understand what you're saying and it would be an issue if this setup was light as it probably looks. The metal rolling stand is an old rolling projector stand for schools, old enough...

Gone through several different iterations of loading bench and downsized to this portable bench. Also made a swappable press mount cause it's fun. Also made a mount so I could use a vise cause I had...

RCBS JR3: decaps everything out in the garage. Inherited from my father in law, modified the handle and it's a cool little press.
RCBS RC2: pistol loading and bullet sizing.
RCBS Rebel: rifle...

Nicely done!
I had a similar experience with my old Japanese Banner 3-9. Plastic turret cap broke, was a unique style and no replacement available, ended up making one and she's still ticking.

I needed some 32rem several years ago, found someone helpful like rayh, then I purchased more from Graf. It's good to know that it can be made from 30-30 in a pinch but it just wasn't worth the...
Forum: Factory Rifles
Graf's was the only source of new brass i could find several years ago when my wife inherited a 32rem. Think RCBS had new dies, and load data for 30-30 or 32win works.

Recently had an issue with oversized PC boolits fighting with my Lee sizer dies, used plain old water in a spray bottle, a light mist of water and they were zipping right through. Poored them onto a...

I used the regular all plastic perfect measure for over 15yrs and was always worried it was going to break any minute but it just kept on working great. Recently got the Deluxe, it feels smoother,...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I reload in the living room so I need to keep crud and dust outside. First thing I do is deprime in the garage with a universal decapping die in a JR3 that is dedicated to that purpose and stays...
Forum: Casting Equipment
For a single stage, I've been eyeballing that newish Lyman Ideal Brass Smith for a short throw. I was thinking for a quick little press to decap rifle brass and bullet sizing though.
I really like...

Had several similar great experiences with Lee and RCBS. The Lee stuff was well out of warranty and I had got my money's worth out of them, went to order parts and they were free at checkout. I still...

I buy from Midsouth Shooters and Graf's occasionally, is there any benefit for the forums to come here first and use the links at the top of the page vs going directly to their websites? I wouldn't...
Thank you for all the great info, really appreciate your input on this. I'm going to work up some loads with Unique and 110gr to see how it does for now. I'll also get a 150gr FP mold and work up...
My daughter inherited a 94 in 30-30 and I'm looking to load up some Speer 110gr HP (I left out the J part...) so she can have fun shooting Grandpa's rifle when she's ready. I mostly use Unique and...
